    the important thing is to dry them promptly. If you neglect that step, you risk letting rust set in.

      Yeah, that sounds more sensible than the seasoning/oil rubbing/sacrifice to the ancient ones sorta stuff that inevitably pops up whenever someone mentions cast iron.

        Seasoning/oil rubbing makes sense because it creates a layer of polymer that won't let rust in. You remove it with soap which is why it can rust if you don't dry it fast.

        Yeah, I don't get the babying a chunk of iron thing. They're nice because they're so tough.
